Isuzu PH extends hand to quake-affected families in Sarangani

MANILA: Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC), together with Isuzu General Santos and the local government unit of Barangay Burias, Sarangani, commenced a relief operation to benefit the 250 families severely affected by the massive earthquakes that struck Sarangani Province a few days ago. 

The aforementioned families are residents of Barangay Burias, one of the most severely affected areas impacted by the said earthquake. IPC, together with its partners, provided these families with essential relief packages containing bottled water, hygiene kits, and food supplies. 

Moreover, additional care was provided to senior citizens and coastal communities. Per IPC, these demographics faced “additional challenges during the disaster response.” Many of the provinces' roads, after all, were damaged by the earthquake, thus preventing aid from reaching them in a timelier manner.

“IPC believes that being a responsible corporate citizen means standing beside our communities, especially during difficult times,” Assistant Vice President for IPC Administration Imelda Bernas said. 

“Through this relief initiative, we hope to provide not only essential supplies but also encouragement and reassurance to the families of Barangay Burias as they recover from the effects of the earthquake. We are grateful to our partners at Isuzu General Santos and the Barangay Local Government Unit for making this meaningful initiative possible,” Bernas added. 

IPC's recent operation is one of the assistance that the Saranggani local government has received. To recall, Vingroup subsidiaries released P20 million there to fasttrack recovery and community rehabilitation efforts there.

Other IPC CSR initiatives

Apart from the latest corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative described above, IPC has had several similar programs that commenced at the start of the year and continued throughout 2025. 

Back in February 2026, the company also delivered aid to Cebuanos who were affected by Typhoon Tino. This was carried out together with Iconic Dealership Incorporated and provided over 250 families with canned goods, drinking water, and sacks of rice. 

In October 2025, IPC also turned over relief goods to more than 200 families affected by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake in Cebu. Isuzu Mobile Medic trucks were also deployed to provide further assistance. 

Also notable is IPC’s Isuzu Heart and Smile Project, which, together with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and World Vision Philippines, continues to support the education of underprivileged individuals to become professionally trained automotive servicing professionals.
